Communicating a threat is communicating a threat, what is your point? Who determines credible, and why? Those may be more relevant questions as the so called sheriff has already stated the perp has made recent threats. I’m not sure if your all worked up over the fact that somebody can be locked up for communicating a threat or you think the sheriff is being slandered?
My point is this—
idiots yell this in domestic cases all day and don’t get locked up—there wouldn’t be enough jails to hold them.
The threat has to be credible. I mean, in the law certain things have to be weighed, you have to have dates, times, places, intent, if a four year old communicates a threat to take the car and drive to Mexico that is different than if a 15 year old does so and the parents will react differently, right? Same with law enforcement—they have to constantly make these kinds of assessments and then have them approved by the court system—you can’t just go out and pick someone up and hold them, a lawyer will have you out in a NY second and if you overdo it you will get fired, kapish? Individuals have rights in this country. At this point anyway.
